Call For Entries : Tarpey Gallery Open 26

Our annual open call aims to showcase the best of UK contemporary art by bringing together emerging and established artists to create a diverse and exciting group exhibition in one of the Midlands foremost Commercial Contemporary Fine Art Galleries. Entries will be open to all artists working in the UK. Artwork can be on any theme and we will be accepting Artworks using all types of media; paintings, original prints, photography, textiles, drawings, works on paper and 3D works – including sculpture and ceramics. A Cash Prize of £250 for the Winner chosen by Gallery Manager Luke Tarpey. We will also invite multiple artists to take part in next year’s exhibition programme from the Open exhibitants. A list of those selected will be published alongside the Open Exhibiting Artists. There is no limit in this (last year I picked 29 artists). This is an open for artists who want to be involved with the gallery. The fee is £15 for 1 piece, £20 for 2 pieces and £25 for 3 pieces.
